Nerve Ultrasound Detects Peripheral Nerve Enlargement in Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by variants in the CYP27A1 gene, resulting in cholestanol accumulation in various tissues, including peripheral nerves. Polyneuropathy is common but often under‐recognized in CTX.

Biallelic mutations in valyl-tRNA synthetase gene VARS are associated with a progressive neurodevelopmental epileptic encephalopathy. [PDF]
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (ARSs) function to transfer amino acids to cognate tRNA molecules, which are required for protein translation. To date, biallelic mutations in 31 ARS genes are known to cause recessive, early-onset severe multi-organ diseases ...

This study, through an analysis of neuroimaging markers, biomarkers of white matter damage, and the volume of the hippocampal fimbria (a white matter structure) in patients with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD), revealed that the protective effect of statin therapy against white matter damage in CSVD patients is independent of its lipid‐lowering ...

Mutation in POLR3K causes hypomyelinating leukodystrophy and abnormal ribosomal RNA regulation
Objective To identify the genetic cause of hypomyelinating leukodystrophy in 2 consanguineous families. Methods Homozygosity mapping combined with whole-exome sequencing of consanguineous families was performed.

Creating New β-Globin-Expressing Lentiviral Vectors by High-Resolution Mapping of Locus Control Region Enhancer Sequences. [PDF]
Hematopoietic stem cell gene therapy is a promising approach for treating disorders of the hematopoietic system. Identifying combinations of cis-regulatory elements that do not impede packaging or transduction efficiency when included in lentiviral ...

ABSTRACT Aminoacyl‐tRNA synthetases (aaRS) are essential enzymes that charge tRNAs with their corresponding amino acids, playing a critical role in protein synthesis. All 37 nuclear‐encoded ARS genes, comprising both cytosolic (ARS1) and mitochondrial (ARS2) isoforms, have now been linked to human disease.

Biallelic variants in LARS2 and KARS cause deafness and (ovario)leukodystrophy
Objective To describe the leukodystrophy caused by pathogenic variants in LARS2 and KARS, encoding mitochondrial leucyl transfer RNA (tRNA) synthase and mitochondrial and cytoplasmic lysyl tRNA synthase, respectively.
